Darling boy! and the grandbaby is cute too! wink

Clematis Jackmanii opened several flowers today. Yesterday, there was one tattered bloom.

My clems are all through blooming. Yours are lovely. I am thinking of adding some other colors and let them twine up the lattice together.

That would be pretty, Bonnie. I want more clems, too. I love those little bell shaped ones.

Celia, yours looks nice!

Side yard long shot of the garden set up with my little dog Lily right in the middle. The picture is taken from the upstairs garden looking down.

Literally much of my backyard is up the stairs. My property is in two levels.

@Henhouse Sherry, I was humming and singing to myself in the garden the other day ..."how's the Mustang running?" Paused for a minute thinking where'd I hear that? Then realized it was you!

Well -- how interesting, Rita! So two separate yards.................do you keep a lawnmower at each level?

I need that answer, too. Is it a steep slope between the 2?

Some things new for me going to bloom. Tiger Lily.

A daylily seedling grown from seeds sent by Arlyn! Sorry about the fuzzy. I was too excited to get another picture.

Are you sure I sent you a daylily, Celia ? You must be confusing me with some OTHER good looking "plant guy" (it happens a lot

)

As to the "two level" gardening....it's really not so strange.....I know a couple who grow plants in their basement!.

....funny thing is there is LOTS of room in their yard

....I wonder why they use the basement

I don't own a lawnmower. The lawn service comes and cuts and trims the grass every two weeks,. The guys just carry the lawn mower up the stars to the backyard.

It is steep. No grass on the hill as it is a woodsy garden full of shrubs. You could never simply just walk up or down but I do get in parts of it to dump lots of mulch to keep away the weeds.
